Heimerl & Lammers announced that nine of its attorneys have been selected for the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, a peer-driven honor administered by Thomson Reuters. The recognition is significant because it is limited to a small fraction of attorneys in the state: no more than five percent are named to Super Lawyers and only two and a half percent to Rising Stars. This exclusivity makes the honor a meaningful indicator of professional standing and peer respect.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators. As a result, being named to these lists is widely regarded as one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. For clients seeking legal representation, this recognition can serve as a useful benchmark of an attorney's reputation and track record.
For 2026, the following attorneys were named to Minnesota Super Lawyers: Carlo Faccini (Family Law, first year), Benjamin J. Heimerl (Workers' Compensation, third consecutive year), Katie M. Lammers (Family Law, Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers, fourth consecutive year), and Michael B. Lammers (Personal Injury General: Plaintiff, seventh consecutive year). The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars include Heather Y. Hamilton (Family Law, first year), Hunter N. Kinsey (Family Law, third consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), Kyle Prouty (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist (Workers' Compensation, second consecutive year).
Katie Lammers' nomination to the Top 100 Minnesota recognition reflects a long record of peer respect and professional credibility in family law. She brings substantial experience in litigation, trial work, appellate matters, and mediation to every case she takes on. Her repeated inclusion on the Top 100 list highlights her standing among Minnesota's legal community.
"This kind of recognition reflects the work our attorneys put in every day for clients," said Michael Lammers, Partner at Heimerl & Lammers. "We're proud of the entire group." The statement underscores that the honors are not merely individual accolades but also reflect the firm's collective commitment to client service.
The breadth of recognition across family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury demonstrates the firm's depth in several practice areas. For individuals facing complex legal issues in these fields, the presence of multiple attorneys with such peer recognition may provide added confidence in the firm's capabilities. The consistent appearance of several attorneys on these lists over multiple years further suggests sustained excellence rather than a one-time achievement.
